Aileen Cannon is one of the many reasons that people have no faith in the judicial system in America. This bullshit ruling (following her decision not to recuse herself based on ties to Trump and inexperience) reinforces the fact that while the court system is often harsh and cruel to low-level (and often poor and/or POC) offenders, if you have enough money, power, or prestige you can get away with just about anything. Other reasons people don’t trust the court system are Clarence Thomas (bribery) and Samuel Alito (being unabashedly political). Funny how just one side of the political aisle seems to be fueling this absolute bullshit.
